1995 Volvo 850 T-5 estate

[Turbodave]

Apologies for the lazy post however will add more content once I'm not using a phone to post.

Bit of a sad decision but a change to my home situation means that our car usage is changing and my spare time is about to dwindle away to nothing and thus, keeping the car in good order is going to be frustratingly difficult from here on and thus I'd sooner see it go to somebody who can carry on the good work whilst I go off and buy a diesel shed to use and abuse through winter.

A lovely car all round and in great shape mechanically. Credit must go to the previous owner StuB who did the lions share of the work prior to me getting the car and his project thread can be found on the forums and detail the work done at his hands. Since taking on the car in June, I'be done minimal to it (testament to how good a car it is!) aside for refitting the 850 rear clusters, a new tailgate spoiler, the badges, machine polishing it, an MOT and service (in June) and generally enjoying the car through the summer months... but alas... winter is approaching, how the car will be used is changing and it's just becoming too hard to give it the love and care it deserves.

Also a link to the project thread I created, following on from where StuB (the previous keeper) left off:

More than happy to discuss the car and indeed the price with genuine parties, I've nothing to hide and have owned T5's for many many years and can hand on heart say this is the most sorted one I've had to date and I know it'll be almost impossible to find another in the future that offers as much as this but I can't change my situation, as frustrating as that may be and hence feel I have little option but to draw the line with the T5.

Can’t pm you as insufficient posts, but I have a 2003 v70d5 se manual, and as my mileage has dropped considerably am thinking of going back to a t5 and rather fancy a 850 or p1 v70 again, if interested let me know
Regards

Dropped my asking price to £2295.09

It's racking up miles and having suffered a breakdown in the other car, her ladyship has been left with the T5 which she's not exactly loving therefore I'd like to see it go to a good home before she starts her new job.

Just to add, there's also a set of 300mm discs and carriers, the original springs, new Pagid rear discs and pads plus a few spares that I've picked up, all of which can go with the car.

Happy to discuss, can PM interested parties my number and no problem to send more images etc.

Thanks

Well, it’s been a while since I was active on the VOC forums!

I’m really looking forward to being back in an 850 T5 again
